My Vision is Simple: Help the Next Generation of Leaders Learn the Skills Most Leaders Learn Far Too Late
​
​At 23, I stepped into leadership for the first time. No training. No guidance. No roadmap for how to actually lead people. That moment changed the direction of my career. I’m turning 30 next month, and for nearly seven years I’ve dedicated my work to one question:
​
Why do even the smartest, kindest, most motivated leaders struggle to build high-performing teams?
​
The deeper I looked, the clearer it became:
​
Most organisations still teach leaders how to have one-to-one conversations, and not how to build teams.
They’re taught:
​
-
how to delegate
-
how to set goals
-
how to manage conflict
-
how to give feedback
​
All useful. But none of it prepares leaders for real challenges of team dynamics. And almost no one is taught how to do that.
​
​
The Turning Point
After my early leadership experience, I spent five years consulting for organisations and the same pattern kept showing up:
​
Leadership development and assessment focused on the individual.
​
Companies trained leaders on how to coach others… but never assessed coachability itself.
They pushed personality profiles, EQ scores, and 360 tools… but rarely assessed whether a leader could build and run an effective team.
​
I kept seeing:
​
-
Organisations promoting people based on how likeable they were
-
Leaders struggling because they were taught everything except team leadership
-
Teams burning out because accountability wasn’t embedded
-
Companies investing in coaching… without checking whether the person receiving it was even willing to change
And here's the data:
​
-
Globally, companies spend 366 billion dollars on leadership development.
-
Yet only 25 percent of organisations believe it works (Research from Brandon Hall Group).
-
And only 1 in 5 teams are truly high-performing.
It is not because leaders do not care.
It is because most are promoted long before anyone teaches them how teams actually work.
And organisations suffer because of that.
​

Why I Built Kaizenex
22 months ago, I launched Kaizenex with one mission:
To help leaders build teams, the right way.
​
When I started, I heard it all:
“It’s too broad.”
“You’re too young to run a leadership consultancy.”
​
But I stayed coachable. I refined the message. And after speaking to more than 70 organisations, one truth kept repeating:
Leaders step into leadership long before they are taught the skills to lead teams effectively.
​
This became the foundation for Kaizenex.
Today, my work focuses on giving leaders and organisations:
​
-
a practical roadmap for team effectiveness
-
the skills to build high-performing teams early
-
the infrastructure to sustain alignment, trust, and execution
-
tools to measure both TQ (team effectiveness) and CQ (coachability)​
​
Because there is a right way to build teams and many wrong ways.
What We Believe
• Teams are the atomic units of performance.
• Leadership is based on the performance of your team.
• Coachability determines the speed at which your people adapt and grow.
• Real accountability starts when leaders learn how to diagnose and improve team performance. ​​​​​
​​We believe organisations shouldn’t depend solely on consultants to build great teams.
While external expertise can improve people performance, sustainable impact happens when leaders learn to build teams from within.
​
That’s why Kaizenex equips organisations with the infrastructure to scale effective teamwork themselves.
